From the discovery of entirely new kinds of galaxies to a window into cosmic 'prehistory, Bothwell shows us the Universe as we've never seen it before – literally.

Since the dawn of our species, people all over the world have gazed in awe at the night sky. But for all the beauty and wonder of the stars, when we look with just our eyes, we are seeing and appreciating only a tiny fraction of the Universe. What does the cosmos have in store for us beyond the phenomena we can see, from black holes to supernovas? How different does the invisible Universe look from the home we thought we knew? Dr. Matt Bothwell takes us on a journey through the full spectrum of light and beyond, revealing what we have learned about the mysteries of the Universe.

This book is a guide to the ninety-nine percent of cosmic reality we can't see – the Universe that is hidden, right in front of our eyes. It is also the endpoint of a scientific detective story thousands of years in the telling. It is a tour through our Invisible Universe.

Galaxies are the most common type of celestial object in the Universe, and they come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Some galaxies are small and compact, while others are large and sprawling. Galaxies are formed when matter in space collides and gravitationally attracts other matter, forming a cluster of stars, gas, and dust. Galaxies can be classified into two main types: spiral galaxies and elliptical galaxies. Spiral galaxies have a spiral shape, with arms that extend outward from a central nucleus. Elliptical galaxies have a more uniform shape, with a round or oval center. Galaxies are important for studying the history of the Universe because they contain a wealth of information about the early stages of star formation and the evolution of galaxies. Galaxies can also be used to study the behavior of black holes and other celestial objects, as well as to test theories of cosmology. Galaxies are fascinating objects that have captured the attention of scientists and astronomers for centuries. They are a window into the distant past and a glimpse into the future of the Universe. Galaxies are a reminder of the vastness and complexity of the cosmos, and they continue to inspire and amaze us with their beauty and mystery.

The study of galaxies has been an important part of astronomy for centuries, and it has led to many important discoveries and insights into the nature of the Universe. One of the most important discoveries in the study of galaxies is the Hubble Space Telescope, which was launched in 1990. The Hubble Space Telescope has allowed astronomers to observe galaxies at a much higher resolution than ever before, and it has led to many important discoveries about the structure and evolution of galaxies. One of the most important discoveries made by the Hubble Space Telescope is the discovery of dark matter and dark energy. Dark matter and dark energy are two mysterious substances that make up the majority of the mass and energy in the Universe, but they are difficult to detect because they do not emit or absorb light. The discovery of dark matter and dark energy has helped to explain many of the puzzles that astronomers have been trying to solve for decades, such as the origin of the Universe and the nature of dark matter and dark energy. Another important discovery in the study of galaxies is the discovery of exoplanets, or planets outside our solar system. Exoplanets have been found in a wide variety of star systems, and they have helped to shed light on the formation and evolution of planets and the possibility of life beyond Earth. The discovery of exoplanets has also led to the development of new theories of planetary formation and the search for extraterrestrial life. In addition to the Hubble Space Telescope, other important tools for studying galaxies include radio telescopes, X-ray telescopes, and gravitational lensing. Radio telescopes can be used to observe the emission of radio waves from galaxies, which can provide information about the structure and evolution of galaxies. X-ray telescopes can be used to observe the X-rays emitted by galaxies, which can provide information about the hot gas and dust in the galaxy's center. Gravitational lensing can be used to observe the bending of light by massive objects, which can provide information about the mass and structure of galaxies. The study of galaxies has also led to many important insights into the nature of the Universe. For example, astronomers have discovered that the Universe is expanding faster than previously thought, and they have developed a theory called dark energy to explain this phenomenon. Astronomers have also discovered that the Universe is made up of a vast array of different types of galaxies, each with its own unique characteristics and history. In conclusion, the study of galaxies has been an important part of astronomy for centuries, and it has led to many important discoveries and insights into the nature of the Universe. The Hubble Space Telescope has been a key tool in this research, and it has helped to shed light on many of the mysteries that astronomers have been trying to solve for decades. The study of galaxies continues to be an important area of research, and it may lead to many more important discoveries in the years to come.
